it's proof that anyone can lose weight is it not? the reason people are having hard time is because of a society that tells them it's impossible to lose weight and if they're fat it's because of genetics or medical conditions and there is nothing they can do about it


Big bag of nope.
Do you not believe in addiction?

No, if "anyone can lose weight", the only proof is if everyone loses weight.

Here's a shocker for you. Indeed, thousands (if not millions) of people lose weight every year. But guess what? Instead of shaming other people who aren't able to lose weight, those successful people join communities such as Reddit's "/r/LoseIt" in which they explain how to lose weight, encourage people, and offer support to people when they go through hard times. Isn't this proof enough of the fact that it's not easy at all? If those successful people had an easy time achieving this success, why would they see the need to spend time helping others with it?

this isn't like cigarettes, alcohol or drugs where you try to quit completely, it's just a matter of changing what you eat - no one is insisting that people stop eating entirely
there are plenty of delicious healthy alternatives to the greasy foods people are eating these days

What's your point? Do you, or do you not, believe you can have an addiction to food?

This is on par with trying to convince cardsultan to understand science. I mean, more power to you, but just remember that it'll all end in tears. :(

that's absurd, i'm talking about a scientifically verified medical fact that anyone can lose weight - there is no debate to be had on this unless you insist you know of people who have bodies that defy everything we know about physics

Isn't this the perfect argument to show that overcoming food addiction is more difficult than cigarettes, alcohol and drugs?

If there is a scientifically verified medical fact, I'm sure as hell that there's more proof to support it than the anecdotes of 3000 people.

my point is losing weight by changing what you eat is incredibly easy compared to quitting other addictions entirely

and certainly, addiction to food is how they got to 600 pounds in the first place
